Bio

Karolina Wojtas (1996, Poland), an artist whose work combines photography, installation, and performance to create spaces full of surprise, childlike imagination, and spontaneity. For her, art is an endless game and experiment, where the audience becomes part of the experience. Wojtas plays with form, drawing viewers into immersive exhibitions filled with glitter, school fences, and oversized building blocks.

She draws inspiration from everyday observations, childhood memories, and the absurdities of growing up. Her art is a journey through education, family relationships, and first loves—filled with nostalgia, humor, and self-irony. She graduated from the Łódź Film School and the Institute of Creative Photography in the Czech Republic. In 2019, she opened her own museum in her home village in Podkarpacie, Poland.

Wojtas has exhibited her works at many individual and collective exhibitions in Poland and abroad: Foto Arsenal Wien (2023), Foam in Amsterdam (2021), MNAC - Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea (2023), the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw (2022), Fotogalleri Vasli Souza in Oslo (2022), and the Beijing 1+1 Art Center (2017).

She has been recognised with awards many times, and nominations, including:
KTR 2023 golden sword in the craft category - photography, nomination for the EMoP Arendt Award 2023, reGeneration 4: The Challenges of Photography and its Museum for Tomorrow in Muse de l'Elysée, special mention at Plat(f)orm 2020 at Fotomuseum Winterthur, winning the c/o Berlin Award (2022), ING Unseen Talent Award (2019), Amsterdam and Tiff Open (2018) at Tiff Festival Wrocław, ShowOFF month fotografia in Krakow 2017.

CLASSROOM ENTRY PROCEDURE
in front of a classroom:

1.Teacher arrives to the classroom immediately after the bell.

2. Pupils are arranged in alphabetical order. The order is permanent until the end of the year.


3. Pupils stand, do not touch each other, they have rucksacks placed on the floor next to their right leg, hands are held along the body, they look straight, do not make sounds and do not move.


4. From the moment of arrangement, which means from the state of acceptance (see #3) the teacher counts down a minute. If pupils last out a minute, the teacher begins to let the next person into the classroom. He lets in the first person; the first person enters, takes a place and sits down. Then another person comes in, etc. Pupils who wait for the entrance stand according to the rules in #3.

5. Teacher admits in persons who meet the conditions of #3. Persons who do not meet these conditions stand in their places. They do not move and do not change their positions.

6. Teacher sets a next minute for those pupils. If they still do not meet the conditions, he lets them into the classroom anyway, one after another.

7. If during the entry process, any of the pupils say a word, he comes back to his position and stands according to #3.

8. Important: Immediately after the pupils take their places, the teacher reads out the rule and adds the last point: “The pupil is rewarded for his good behavior. It pays to behave well”.

9. Immediately after the rule is read out, the teacher gives tokens to the pupils who entered the classroom correctly. Only for those, who entered on the first try.
